I'm looking for suggestions on slight suspension leveling upgrade. I don't really go off-roading except for accasions where I end up on dirt roads to a camp ground, etc. But not like the 4x4 friends. Just looking at my options since I will probably need tires in about 6 months or so, and may go with slightly taller tires, or whatever in the 33" range, not sure I want 35". I have 285/65 on 18 now. Anyway, my current options are:
1. 2018 TRD full strut spring with level block kit
2. Eibach Pro Truck leveling kit
3. Eibach spring with bilstein 5100 possible?
4. Bilstein 5100 with blocks if needed?
Any others? Seems I can use trd suspension, but confirmation would be nice too. Any suggestion in wheels and tires as well would be nice, or do I need to go to that forum for that?

5100 X 4 or 6112/5160 combo
Front on whatever setting you decide.
From what I've read if you keep the front lift under 3", you shouldn't have alignment issues.
Toytec shackles if you need to lift the rear 1" or 1.5"

I have Bilstein 6112/5160 combo on my 2014 2WD.
6112s on the second setting from the bottom with 1 CB shim on each side.
I should have got 2" of front lift, but I got 2.5", I'm guessing because it is 2WD, I don't know.
It was perfectly level at 2.5" of front lift with the stock shackles, I got the Toytec shackles to get a bit of rake back.

Thanks for the great inputs. I guess I'll go with 5100 and spindle sounds like a solid upgrade. Still need to figure out the rear since I'm not sure about shackle. I don't know anything about lifted trucks. I guess it works. It may not be significant enough with my wanting just 1-1.5" of lift, but I think lengthening the shackle probably alters the geometry and possibly introduce some flexing and reduce rigidity somewhat. But I'm probably just thinking too much. Apparently people use them &#x1f642;

I have Maxtrac 3.5" spindles and 5100 shocks on the middle setting on my 08 Crewmax 5.7. That combo gave me a 4" lift which I needed for my 295-70/18 Terra Grapplers. This setup keeps the geometry of the suspension and ball joints so they won't wear out faster. The ride is fantastic! For the rear I would definitely go with Coachbuilder 2" or 3" shackles depending on the rake you want. He also offers a replacement bushing package for the shackles that makes for a smoother ride and no binding of the rear shackles. I noticed a difference right away! Also in the rear I have Bilstein 5100's for Rear Lifted 0" - 1" shocks. The truck is level with this combination and rides great!
